My Eyes Adored You

This is my best friend's dog. I see her a lot. She adores her owner as you can see in her eyes. She's a beautiful dog, friendly, and very sweet.

Free Spirit

This is a dog I've spent a lot of time being around. He's one of three dogs that live together and he's the alpha male. He's always so glad to see you and as soon as he sees me he's right on my lap for the entire visit. I love this little guy!

Stand By Me

Another adventure into the world of painting animals.  I love this cow's eyes. They say a lot to me because they look like my Robin's eyes (my beautiful golden retriever); soulful, compassionate, trusting, gentle and kind.

Cows are amongst the most gentle of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them.  And in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.

An intelligence knowing all the forces acting in nature at a given instant, as well as the momentary positions of all things in the universe, would be able to comprehend in one single formula the motions of the largest bodies as well as the lightest atoms in the world, provided that its intellect were sufficiently powerful to subject all data to analysis; to it nothing would be uncertain, the future as well as the past would be present to its eyes.  
~ Pierre-Simon Laplace

Facing West

This is the sunset set at Laurel Lake in Millville, N.J.  There are special places where the sunsets are the most lovely, and Laurel Lake is one of them.

Killahoey Beach

This is a painting of Killahoey Beach in Ireland, a most scenic and beautiful place. I've only seen it in photos but I think I need to add this place to my bucket list.

Before the Deluge

This is a painting I did a few years ago and decided to try it again to see if I can make it better. Several years of renewed study and many, many paintings later, well, you be the judge.

When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in. That's what the storm's all about.
